Maison Asrar perfumes in the leather and chypre family
Maison Asrar's own website gives 11 of the 116 perfumes in this guide a family word from this group (“leathery”, “leather”, “chypre” or “animalic”): Vanguard, Alonoud, Bonita, Dubai Milano, Italian Leather, Jawhara Black and 5 more.
Leather perfumes carry a dry, smoky leather or suede accord; chypre is the structure of citrus, floral heart and a mossy, earthy base. A leather note is built by the perfumer from woods, birch-like smoke and resins rather than taken from hide. Chypre is a classic frame: bergamot on top, a floral heart, and oakmoss with patchouli below. Both families feel darker and drier than the sweet and fresh ones.
